ABSTRACT:
A system generates energy using the difference in elevation between an upper elevation (e.g., at the top of a mountain) and a lower one (e.g., at or near the bottom of the mountain.) In one embodiment, the system includes a compressor located at the upper location which supplies compressed gas through a conduit to a mixing chamber at the lower elevation. A control unit connected to the conduit supplies pulses of the compressed gas to the mixing chamber for mixing with mercury to produce a mercury-gas mixture. An injector injects pulses of the mercury-gas mixture into a turbine so as to impact against the turbine blades and drive the turbine. In further embodiments, the elevation differential is employed in combination with a pair of weights which are raised and lowered between the two elevations and which are used, when lowered, to generate a driving force for respective turbines.
